'The Flying Bum' aircraft crashes during second test flight

Airlander 10, the world's largest aircraft, on Wednesday crashed at its Cardington Airfield base in Bedfordshire, England after attempting its second test flight.

The 302-foot long, uniquely shaped plane officially named the Martha Gwyn is more commonly known as "The Flying Bum" due to its interesting bulbous aesthetic resembling a...well, you know.

The Independent reports that spokesperson for the ship's makers, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV), said, "We're debriefing following the second test flight this morning. All crew are safe and well and there are no injuries." The aircraft reportedly sustained damage to its cockpit during the nosedive.

HAV in May 2015 launched a campaign for Airlander 10 to take flight and believed the aircraft could be used for several functions. Chief Executive Officer Stephen McGlennan said the aircraft could "provide air transportation for people and goods without the need for a runway. But this thing can take more over longer distances, it's cheaper and it's greener."

If the blimp-helicopter-airplane hybrid manages to successfully take flight, it's expected to be able to stay airborne for about five days.

The helium-filled airship briefly flew for the first time on Aug. 17 over an airfield in central England.

HAV hopes that by 2021 it will be building 10 Airlanders a year.
